Four New-to-the-Site Cozy Authors

July 27, 2017

I’m adding four more new authors to the site. As usual, these are authors I’ve heard of from visitors to the site, either through comments or by email.

 Alison Golden was born in Bedfordshire, England, though she now splits her time between London and San Francisco, California. She coauthors most of her works, writing the Reverend Annabelle Dixon Mystery Series with Jamie Vougeot, starring a vicar in Cornwall, the Inspector David Graham Cozy Mystery Series with Grace Dagnall, starring an investigator on the island of Jersey, one of the Channel Islands off the coast of the United Kingdom, and the Diana Hunter suspense mystery series with Gabriella Zinnas.

Though she now spends most of her time in California, Leslie Karst has lived in areas as varied as Ohio, South America, Mexico, and Oxford, England. An attorney for twenty years, she also has a degree in culinary arts. She writes the Sally Solari Mystery Series, starring the manager of the front of an old-style Italian eatery owned by her family, and likewise an ex-lawyer, living in Santa Cruz, California.

Gigi Pandian graduated with honors from Pitzer College and spent time working on a PhD at the University of Edinburgh, the University of Washington in Seattle, and the University of Bath in England. She decided she preferred art to academics before completing it, and instead pursued an education at art school. She is the author of the Jaya Jones Treasure Hunt Mystery Series, starring an archaeologist/historian/adventurer, and the Accidental Alchemist Mystery Series, starring an alchemist in Portland, Oregon.

 Linda Reilly has a degree in Criminal Justice, and has had a career as a real estate agent. She was born in the Berkshires in Massachusetts, and now lives in New Hampshire. She is the author of the Deep Fried Mystery Series, which stars Talia Marby, a worker at a family owned fish and chips shop in the Berkshires of Massachusetts.
